Paragard® - Intrauterine Contraception

ParaGard® Intrauterine Contraceptive (IUC) is a different kind of birth control. But it's one of the most effective kinds available. It's even more effective than the Pill. But, unlike the Pill (and patch, ring, and shots), it's hormone-free. So it's great for women who prefer not to use hormones or can't for health reasons.

It's also virtually hassle-free. No more daily or weekly routines, just a simple monthly self-check. So it's great for the busy woman who's got a lot going on.

ParaGard® is a simple T-shaped piece of soft, flexible plastic wrapped with natural copper. It's designed to fit comfortably in the uterus.

ParaGard® is 99.4% effective.

That's just as effective as having your tubes tied - but ParaGard® doesn't require surgery or anesthesia and is fully reversible.

That's more effective than the Pill, patch, or ring - but ParaGard® works whether you're thinking about your birth control or not.

So if you want highly effective birth control that's long-term but easily reversible - or birth control that doesn't require you to remember a pill, change a patch, or put in a ring - ask your healthcare professional about ParaGard®.
